Subject: Human Male Body

I dont Like drawing humans, they are ugly creatures really, they cant compare to the beauty of a mighty tiger, but they do have their pleasing aspects.
Here are some pencil sketches I drew of the male body.

Fantastic work! I'm in love with the last sketch! One of my weak points are backs and tilted heads, so I'm drooling over your exquisite lines and contours and shading~ Really awesome stuff =p

Thank you :) It was quite difficult to get the head tilt just right. Im not very good at backs either, that was maybe my third attempt at drawing one in my life.

Woohoo! That´s fantastic! :D I totally admire the hipbones (which I usually fail with) and all the muscles in the back! And I agree with Rogue, tilted heads are much trickier than they look and you did a damn god job with the perspective.

The lights and shadows are great too. I love them most on the third picture, where it looks as if only a part of the torso was illuminated. Even the colour of the paper totally fits, it has exactly the right tone to make the body look warm and lively.

I think this is really good work and I can´t wait to see what will be created in your atelier next. Please keep on drawing! <3

Thank you :)
I had a bunch of this paper lying around and thought it would be perfect for these type of sketches. Backs are hard to draw, I had to study the muscle structure closely and it still probably is'nt acurate.
Hipbones, I love them and will be drawing more!

Thanks a bunch! X)
Its true, I'd rather be drawing some amazing and beautiful creature, like a tiger or aligator or a dragon (Im really good with dragons), but there are some eyecatching features of the human body that I cant ignore. I enjoy doing details and shading, its rather relaxing and so satisfying to sit back and look at the finished product.
Envy, oh my, I have to say the same to you, your detail in color is certainly something I envy :)
I supose its a good thing, but my computer uploads things in a colosal size weather I want it to or not. And I will indeed keep drawing and posting ;)
